Another object is to provide a device of the char-a er described whicl is readily and easride a I portable ily adjustable to provide for filling sacks or bags of diiierent sizes. 7 Another object 01 the invention is to prosaclzing' stand such as above 7 described, which may be easily nioved a's de. sired and. which will not-tear or rip the sacks. Another ob iect-is to provide a novel means for automatically locking the bag holding .ieans against accidental release of the bag. A further object, is to provide in a device of the character described a novel means for automatically closing bags or sacks of the type which have a draw cord for closing the open ends of such sack, which means operates on release oft-he sack or bag from the;

stand; 7

lVith the'above mentioned and other ob jects in view, the invention consists in the,

novel construction and combination of'parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the ac-' companying drawings, and set forth in the claim hereto appended, it being understood that vai'iousclianges in the form proportion;

size and minor details of construction within the scope of the claim Hilly be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any or the advantages of the invention,

Referring to the drawing:

The embodiment of the inventionvshown in the "accompanying" drawing comprises an I 1 fopen base 1, supported by several castings and having a standard 3atone end thereof.

A substantially U-shaped' horizontally dis- L mounted in the standard, being held in adposed frame. 4 jisfv'ertically adjustably The frame is adjusted to the proper height-to riiensiv 'compact and'capahle or base; as shown in Fig. 2;

bottom of the sa'c'k'will be spaced above the .The ineanstor supporting and releasing the sacks comprises two shafts 6 and: 7 mountedon the sidepieoesS and Qot the frame-and provided at certain' ends with crank arms 10 andfllyjoined"by a link 12. The shaft .6 has an operating lever l attached thereto, which lever," when lifted will rotate the two shaits in opposite d1 ections.

. Each of the shafts is provided with upstand pointed pins 14L on which th'e'saelris iin paled in order to be supported with its upperv end open. Surrounding the shaft 6 is a spring 14, which is placed under tension when the shaft is rocked and serves to return said shaft pins extending inupright position. With a engaged on the pins and standing in upright position as shown in Fig. 1, when it is H desired to release 'thebag or sack the opera tor pulls up on the lever and rotates the shafts so that the pins will be turned into downwardly and inwardly inclined'positions andallow the sack or bag to slip off of themfree oi the stand. The lever is pivoted as at 15 ion slot 16 formed in the shaft '6 and is adapted to engage under alocking member or keeperl'? fastened to one side of the frame 4;.

: To provide forfilling thesaoks or inatioally clo'sing-the-saoks or bags onrelease thereof, a hook 18 is'pivoted'as at 19in a slot 20 formed in theup per partof theistahdard 3.

I When the pedal is depressed, the hook is rockedon its pivot so that the draw string,

as shown at 25, willslip off of the hook and free the sack or bag'from the stand, shown in Fig. 2,"a sack of the draw cord or string type, is mounted in the usual manner on the pins but so that the lower end of the sack is spaced above the ground andbase member, the draw cord being looped over the l1oolr, as shown in said figure. After the sack 1s filled the operator liits up on the lever and rotates the shafts so that the pins will release the stack; As the sack rails, the draw string; pulls the open end ofthe sack 1 closed and when the-sac; comes to rest with v the open end closed, the" operator depresses the pedal and releases the draw string 'froni the hook 18.

"In this manner, the action of filling and closingv a draw strlng typooi' bag o'rsack may be expeditiously carried out. i The stand may therefore be used to great ad vantage for filling and closing mail sacks or bags:

The demos of the 1nvent1on is compact, ca

I pable of being readily moved about from place to place and simple as to construction and operation, as well as being inexpensive. All or these ieatures contrlbute to an eiliclentsack or bag filling operation at a saving in time, labor and expense as compared to the ordinary handmet-hods of filling sacks or bags,

I claim: 1

A sacking stand comprising a standard, a frame, supported b y the standard and including spaced horizontal arms between which a sack is adapted to be placed, shafts rotatabiy mounted on the upper sides 01 said arms, crank arms projecting from the ends ofsaid shafts, pins projecting upwardly from said shafts, a spring associa ud withsaid frame the shafts and up over the pins whereby when w the pins are swung downward and inward the sack will slip off the pins.
